Greenpeace Close BP petrol Stations ?

Jul.27.2010  by  Peter Donegan

I saw this article this morning in the guardian which is copied in full below. I have no issues with greenpeace, as such. In fact they do quite well in highlighting issues with PR stunts. I also understand why BP are an easy target and possibly more importantly to Greenpeace, easy PR. But if you are [...]

all you need is love…

Feb.13.2009  by  Peter Donegan

….and I love this day. I am a romantic. A sporadic one some may say or irrational with regard to my showings of affection. But I love this because it makes the silliness of doing things that were accepted when I was 14, because I was a teenager, acceptable again for just one day. Rather [...]

collision course…

Jan.23.2009  by  Peter Donegan

The title might suggest I went head to head with some pot plants or crashed into a tree that was doing ’70 down the motorway… Essentially, this has nothing to do with ‘horticulture’. But it does. Sometimes I do greener things that are more relevent to my business. But in my life, my hobby nee [...]

crimes against the garden…?

Sep.22.2008  by  Peter Donegan

When I spoke to a colleague of mine about writing an article on robbings in the garden he told me he had seen some himself, but moreso around the winter period. In hindsight I realise this may not be the most amusing opening line for an article but whilst garden theft achieves little or no [...]
